C390 Leave(2)

In this battle, the Profound Heaven Sect achieved an undeniable victory, even capturing a formidable opponent at the Reality Condensing Stage. However, the sect's vitality was still significantly depleted.

Some people were still fired up from the recent clash, their blood boiling with excitement. Although Woo Zhengyang's powerful presence left them little room to act, they still felt a sense of pride as members of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Others remained calm and collected. Passion doesn't equate to strength, and the sect was still in a precarious position. They weren't afraid of death, but they didn't disregard it either. They awaited the decisions of Nie Fengyu and the others to determine their next steps.

Half an hour later, Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu addressed the gathered crowd, announcing, "Woo Zhengyang has left!"

Woo Zhengyang departed with Bing'er and the other three women, confidently walking out through the mountain gate. Many were captivated by Bing'er and her companions, but even more eyes were fixed on the No Life Sword strapped to Woo Zhengyang's back. This was a King Rank weapon, a treasure that many cultivators might never see in their lifetime. Such a powerful weapon was the dream of any practitioner, yet no one dared to make a move. To seize the sword from Woo Zhengyang, the so-called "God of Death," would require the strength of a Martial King expert; otherwise, even multiple lives wouldn't suffice.

Even if you could get it, could you really keep it?

This sword is destined to be the center of attention for a while, stirring up chaos wherever it goes. Just like when Woo Zhengyang first appeared, everyone instinctively made way for him and his group to leave.

Leaving the Profound Heaven Sect was something Woo Zhengyang had planned for a long time. With everyone focused on the No Life Sword, he hoped his departure would shield the sect from any fallout. Even if it seemed a bit far-fetched, he felt he had to do it.

Nie Fengyu didn't say much about Woo Zhengyang's decision to leave. He understood Zhengyang's character; once he made up his mind, there was no changing it. Besides, no matter how things unfolded, leaving was the best choice for Woo Zhengyang. It was better than being caught in a trap.

Uncle Fu wanted to leave with Woo Zhengyang, but Zhengyang refused. Even if the Heavenly Martial Sect didn't target the Profound Heaven Sect, the sect, weakened as it was, would need support to recover. A strong figure at the Reality Condensing Stage could make a significant difference.

There was another reason Woo Zhengyang didn't mention: he wasn't sure how long he could stay away this time.

Before he left, Nie Fengyu handed him a body tempering technique from the third level of the Profound Arts Pavilion. Woo Zhengyang glanced at it but didn't take it with him.

The body tempering technique was quite mysterious. Despite being somewhat incomplete, it was still worthy of a place on the third floor of the Profound Arts Pavilion due to its unique qualities. Unfortunately, it wasn't suitable for Woo Zhengyang.

This technique was compiled by a body tempering cultivator after an ancient catastrophe, combining personal insights with several incomplete ancient techniques. Like many modern body tempering methods, it followed a quick and risky path, while Woo Zhengyang sought a pure and reliable technique.

Only a reliable technique could be free from flaws and hidden dangers, ensuring that Woo Zhengyang's body tempering journey remained unaffected. His path couldn't be halted, even though he desperately needed a technique for the Skin Stage. He couldn't afford to make a reckless choice that might leave him with future problems.

Uncle Fu also entrusted Woo Zhengyang with a manual, "The Flawless Formation of Spears, Swords, and Blades." From the name, it was clear that this wasn't a technique or martial skill, but a formation method. However, unlike ordinary formations, this was an offensive combined attack method. Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu used this combined technique to face the two grand elders of the Fallen Sun Country.

Recalling this, Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but remember Uncle Fu's assessment of Nie Fengyu: "He's a seemingly carefree genius!"

As Woo Zhengyang had anticipated, Nie Fengyu appeared to compromise with the three sects of the Fallen Sun Country, but he never intended to surrender. Upon returning to the Profound Heaven Sect, Nie Fengyu sought out Uncle Fu and explained the series of events, urging him to leave the sect to find Woo Zhengyang.

However, Uncle Fu was certain that Woo Zhengyang would never flee in the face of danger, so he chose to stay. Nie Fengyu trusted this judgment, especially after learning that Uncle Fu had reached the Reality Condensing Stage. This realization gave Nie Fengyu hope that the Profound Heaven Sect still had a fighting chance, and the two began to strategize.

When Uncle Fu learned that Nie Fengyu wielded a spear, he introduced him to the "Flawless Formation of Spears, Swords, and Blades." In just one day, Nie Fengyu mastered the formation, and within another day, he and Uncle Fu were working together seamlessly.

Nie Fengyu's insight made their plan more feasible. Uncle Fu's absence during the critical moment was part of their strategy, waiting for the perfect time to strike. Unexpectedly, Woo Zhengyang's powerful intervention disrupted everything.

Despite this, the "Flawless Formation of Spears, Swords, and Blades" played a crucial role. Without this combined technique, the Profound Heaven Sect might have survived the ordeal, but it wouldn't have been able to eliminate all the Reality Condensing Stage members of the three sects from the Fallen Sun Country.
